There’s an old Arcade Fire song with a chorus that starts ”between the click of the light and the start of a dream.” That’s the place where this podcast invites you to reside, for just a little while. It’s a place where the lines between awake and asleep are blurred, where sanity and madness become interchangeable, where magical thinking reigns. You can’t stay here forever, it wouldn’t be healthy, but you can visit and ruminate while you pass through.
